After the success of the pumpkin pie pancakes that I made a while ago I was thinking that sweet potato pie pancakes would also be good. The basic idea was a pancake with all of the flavours of a sweet potato pie or a sweet potato casserole. I pretty much just took my basic pancake recipe with some of the flour replaced with whole wheat flour and added some pureed sweet potato long with some spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. For the sweet potato puree, you just need to cook a sweet potato until it is nice and soft and mash it up. I like to slow roast sweet potatoes as they caramelize and that adds a ton of flavour. The Sweet potato pie pancakes turned out great! They were nice and light and fluffy and moist and good. I really enjoyed the sweet potato flavour in the pancakes. I served the sweet potato pancakes with maple syrup, toasted pecans and topped them off with a slice of melting butter. It is always fun transforming your favorite deserts into breakfasts!

Directions:1. Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl.2. Mix the buttermilk, egg, butter and mashed sweet potato in another bowl.3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients making sure to not over mix.4. Heat a pan and melt a touch of butter in it.5. Pour 1/4 cup of the mixture into the pan and heat until the surface starts to bubble and the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.6. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

This would be great also as a more savory pancake. We fry our cornmeal in the south and serve it with dinner. I can see this recipe with onions to make it more savory minus the pecans and syrup. What a fabulous recipe! Thanks for sharing!

penniesonaplatter: I am using a Canon XSi (450D) camera along with Lightroom for organizing and editing. Before I picked up lightroom I was using a really old copy of Photoshop Elements. As for photo editing, I mostly just crop and resize the photos and play around with the auto corrections and white balance.

In learning food photography I found that the one thing that helped me the most was getting the lighting right. Since I do not have good access to sunlight in my apartment I had to pick up a lamp. I ended up with a (relatively speaking) cheap Lowel Ego desktop 'product' lamp that I have been really happy with. I hope this has helped.

I've been reading backwards through your blog and absolutely am excited about all the sweet potato recipes! My 3 year old loves sweet potatoes and he hasn't quite developed a diverse palate but these recipes will be fabulous to start him to expland his horizons! And keep me happy since I love these recipes and will only have to cook one thing!

oh gosh, i've posted these on my facebook page and on my sweet potato blog and everytime i look at them i sigh cause i just wish i could have them right now! check out my sweet potato blog, your pancakes were on there!
